Do you want to improve the community by working with us to clean up the canal system? Have you ever wanted to work on a trolley? Are you fascinated by the music at the Lowell Folk Festival and the Lowell Summer Music Series and would like to help? Do you like like the idea of staffing one of the interesting old canal gatehouses that would normally be closed if not for you?

Volunteers do so many great things for the park and the community. Explore the many possibilities and learn what it is like to join the park and one of its many partners.
